Probably best to sink it yourself to be on the safe side

Sounds like Jasper Park Lodge is gone. That is the place I got married.

Sounds like Jasper is about to burn to the ground.

Jasper is like the less Calgary version of Banff.

It's where I got married.

Global warming is a myth.

Jasper is freakin gorgeous and such a gem, would be a real shame to lose it, especially owing to negligence from Smith

1 day late. We got our guests hand blown shot glasses with the date on it, and those have the original date on them. March 11
